JAKARTA - The Ministry of Industry will actively promote various defense equipment that have been produced by the domestic industry to be more globally competitive in the future at the IndoDefence event which will be held from November 2-5, 2022 in Kemayoran, Jakarta.
This is in line with the use of modern technological advances and is supported by competent industrial human resources (HR).
"The Ministry of Industry appreciates the implementation of IndoDefence 2022 as the largest international defense exhibition in Southeast Asia which is held every two years," said Director General of Metal, Machinery, Transportation Equipment and Electronics (ILMATE), Taufiek Bawzier in Jakarta, Wednesday, November 2.
Through the event, said Taufiek, Indonesia's defense products are expected to penetrate the export market in the future.
In addition, Taufiek said the exhibition was a means of obtaining new markets for the domestic defense industry from Central Asian and African countries, as well as becoming a technology transfer site from the foreign defense industry.
"Not only is this the latest weapons technology exhibition, this event is expected to be used to form partnerships with the defense industry from abroad," he said.
On the same occasion, Director of Maritime Affairs, Transportation Equipment, and Defense Devices R. Hendro Martono said the Ministry of Industry's goal in facilitating the IndoDefence event was to realize Indonesia's independence in the production of the main weapon system (defense equipment).
"This needs to be supported by spurring industrial capabilities in the country in order to utilize high technology while optimizing the use of local raw materials," he added.
Thus, said Hendro, Indonesian defense industry products are also expected to host in their own country as well as be an example for foreign countries.
"To support the independence of the defense industry, the Ministry of Industry provides TKDN certification facilities as legal certainty regarding the value of domestic products," he said.
